Mary Fernández, Jérôme Siméon, and Philip Wadler
XQuery is a strongly typed language, meaning that the types of values and expressions must be compatible with the context in which the value or expression is used. All implementations of XQuery must support dynamic typing, which checks during dynamic evaluation that the type of a value is compatible with the context in which it is used and raises a type error if an incompatibility is detected. XQuery implementations may optionally support static typing, which checks during static analysis that the type of an expression is compatible with the context in which it is used. Static Typing can shorten the development cycle by detecting common type errors before a query ...
